About the Siemens 6ES7350-1AH03-0AE0
The Siemens 6ES7350-1AH03-0AE0 is the FM 350-1 counter module with one channel counting at up to 500 kHz. Siemens's data sheet lists 5 V symmetrical and 24 V incremental encoders, 5 V and 24 V encoder supplies, three digital inputs and two digital outputs, and isochronous mode. Siemens's data sheet marks it as a spare part. Siemens names no direct successor for the order number; its route forward is migration to the S7-1500 with ET 200MP.
What is the 6ES7350-1AH03-0AE0 used for?
It counts fast encoder pulses independently of the CPU cycle, for length measurement, positioning and speed on an S7-300 machine.
Lifecycle and successor
Discontinued: product cancellation (Siemens SiePortal), spare part only.
Before you order
What to photograph or confirm so the right unit is quoted.
Check the order number on the module and the encoder type (5 V or 24 V) wired to it.
